We’re seeking scooter-related news to add to our News page which is also distributed to everyone on our mailing list. Whether the news is local or global, if it’s fit to publish, then you’ll probably see it on our News page. Are you excited about an event or want to gather some of us for a group ride? Maybe you heard something related to the scooter culture that you’d like everyone else to know. We would also like to promote scooters, accessories, sales and service shops, and rallies with our News page. Participate in this fast-growing community of scooter enthusiasts to make this News page the online mecca for scooterists in Austin and beyond.

Get in touch with the site admins through the Contact page or PM Mary (maribell) in the Forum if you have news you’d like to share. You might just see the info funnel through this channel to all of our visitors both new and returning.

On behalf of the Austin Scooter Club, Mary and the ScootClub.com admins sent a gift to Jason Dick, one of the hosts of their favorite morning radio show The Morning X with Jason and Deb on 101X.

On July 2nd at 6:51am on Morning X, Mary and the Austin Scooter Club were thanked during a segment about Jason finally getting a bottle of Michael Jordan cologne. He read the letter on air that Mary enclosed with the package which asked if he could take a picture with the box which you see here. The site was also mentioned which is great exposure for the club.

The Morning X airs weekdays from 6am-10am on 101.5 FM. You can also listen to the show via 101X’s live stream during those hours or on their podcast if you don’t catch it live.

If you missed the segment involving Michael Jordan cologne and the Austin Scooter Club, you can listen to it here (requires Flash):

Our first official stickers arrived in the mail today, and they look fantastic! You probably have seen the design on the Meetup page, but now you can have your own tangible version to adorn your scooter, notebook, guitar case, lamp post, bathroom wall, etc. They measure 2.75″ × 2.75″ and are made of waterproof vinyl.

Mary and Emily will have them in their possession at future Austin Scooter Club events, and they will hand them out to members and attendees at the end of the events. You can have a sticker at no cost at every event you attend. We would just like you to sport the sticker to show your support to the club. Invite your friends with scooters to go on group rides and they will each get a sticker, too! Who wouldn’t want to go on a relaxing ride around the beautiful city of Austin on a sunny day with fellow scooter enthusiasts and get a free sticker?

We have also turned a few stickers into magnets for loyal members to place on their scooter or their fridge. The magnets are very limited in quantity, so you will have to request them directly from Mary at a group ride that she attends.

If you haven’t already signed up for our mailing list or joined our forum, then please do so to get immediate updates from the club. Those two methods are the fastest ways to get our latest updates with what’s going on. The Meetup Group is in the process of being completely phased out, so if you or your friends depend on getting updates through that site, then you’ll be left in the dust!
